Answer: the number of students that were surveyed is 40
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = total number of students that were surveyed about their favorite colors
1/4 of the students preferred red.
This means that the number of students that preferred red is 1/4 × x = x/4
1/8 of the students preferred blue.
This means that the number of students that preferred blue is 1/8 × x = x/8
The remaining number of students will be the total number of students - the sum of the number of students that preferred red and the number of students that preferred blue. It becomes
x - (x/4 + x/8) = x - 3x/8 = 5x/8
3/5 of the remaining students were for green. This means that the number of students that preferred green is 3/5 × 5x/8 = 3x/8
if 15 students prefer green, then
3x/8 = 15
3x = 120
x = 120/3 = 40 students
A common misconception in statistics is confusing correlation with causation. If two events are correlated, it merely means that they share the same behaviour over time, but it doesn't imply in any way that those event are related by a common cause, or even worse, that one implies the other.
You can find several (even humorous) counter examples online. For example, if you plot the number of reported pirates assault against the global temperature in the last years, you'll se that temperature is rising (unfortunately...) while pirates are almost disappearing.
One could observe this strong negative correlation and claim that hotter climate has solved the pirate issue. Of course this is a joke, but it explains why you shouldn't confuse correlation with causation.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
m=x^3+y^2-6(x-y)-2021
distribute: 6x-6y
now you have m=x^3 + y^2 - 6x - 6y - 2021
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the question :
Serena wants to create snack bags for a trip she is going on. She has 6 granola bars and 10 pieces of dried fruit. If the snack bags should be identified without any food leftover, what is the greatest number of snack bags Serena can make?
Number of granolas = 6
Number of dried fruits = 10
Since the snackbag is to be designed in such a way that there should be no food leftover, the greatest number of snack bags Serena can make could be obtained by getting the highest common factor of (6 and 10)
____6____10
2___3____5
Here, the highest common factor of 6 and 10 is 2
Hence, the greatest number of snack bags she can make is 2.
